Yep, I'm seeing prices like that too, up to $19-$22/m (which is only three inches longer than a yard!) Ordering online, even with shipping costs is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper.
Are these higher prices for fabric made in the USA? or offshore?
I won't buy anything fabric made in China etc. We've got to stop supporting them. Buy American made at a discount, use coupons, anything to save $$. The small quilt shops have a hard enough time as it is making a profit, it will put a lot of them out of business. I hope we don't have to start buying everything online, the shipping will be high too.
